Fascinating layered history!!
Phu Prabhat Historical Park far exceeded my expectations! We arrived just as a downpour ended and the staff were gracious in lending us umbrellas and giving us a golf cart ride to the main attraction, some 400-500 meters inside the park. From there, we walked thoughout the area, enjoying the gravity-defying rock formations that have served as places of shelter, meeting, ceremony, and religion for different peoples over the past 2,000 to 3,000 years. I was particularly fascinated by the many petroglyphs and pictographs at various locations in the park. If ancient pictographs interest you, but sure to walk the added distance to the Tham Khon and Tham Wua shelters, that contain outstanding pictographs of human figures and animals. These are the best pictographs I've seen in Thailand. These are a few hundred meters away from the main grouping of rock formations, but are well worth the effort to walk to them. The return walk to the parking area, through the forest on a well-maintained trail, is very pleasant. Entrance to the park is 100 baht for foreign visitors and 20 baht for Thais.

Incredible & Historical Rock Formations
We enjoyed our experience at the Phu Prabhat Historical Park in Udon Thani which featured some amazing natural rock formations throughout the park. Some of these formations seemed to defy gravity which made for some amazing photos. I also enjoyed that the park had mapped out a fantastic hiking trail to go from one rock formation to the next. We arrived late in the day when the place was practically empty and we trudged our way to the remotest and most beautiful end of the park on a cliff overlooking the valley with an incredible sun set. The park seemed to have ample signs with directions on where to go which I appreciated. I would love to visit this park again in the future to enjoy the historical site as well as get some exercise.
